Postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy in sinonasal carcinoma: clinical results in 39 patientsWim Duthoy
Department of Radiotherapy, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Cancer 104:71-82. 2005..Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a relatively new technique, which is implemented with the hypothesis that, compared with conventional RT, it would result in a lower rate of ocular toxicity for an equal local control (LC)...
Clinical implementation of intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) for rectal cancerWim Duthoy
Department of Radiotherapy, Ghent University Hospital, De Pintelaan 185, B 9000 Ghent, Belgium
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 60:794-806. 2004..We report on the treatment plans of the first 7 patients, on the comparison of IMAT with conventional 3D planning (3D), and on the feasibility of IMAT delivery...
Whole abdominopelvic radiotherapy (WAPRT) using intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT): first clinical experienceWim Duthoy
Division of Radiotherapy, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 57:1019-32. 2003..With conventional techniques, kidneys and liver are the dose- and homogeneity-limiting organs. We developed a planning strategy for intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) and report on the treatment plans of the first 5 treated patients...
Positron emission tomography-guided, focal-dose escalation using intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck cancerIndira Madani
Department of Radiotherapy, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 68:126-35. 2007..To assess the feasibility of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using positron emission tomography (PET)-guided dose escalation, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose in head and neck cancer...
Automatic generation of a plan optimization volume for tangential field breast cancer radiation therapyKoen Van Vaerenbergh
Division of Radiotherapy, Ghent University Hospital, Gent, Belgium
Strahlenther Onkol 181:82-8. 2005..CONCLUSION: This automated planning method is capable of replacing the contouring of the clinical target volume as well as the trial-and-error procedure of assigning weights of wedged and unwedged beams by an experienced planner...
Intensity modulated radiation therapy for oropharyngeal and oral cavity tumors: clinical use and experienceFilip Claus
Division of Radiotherapy, Ghent University Hospital, De Pintelaan 185, Ghent, Belgium
Oral Oncol 38:597-604. 2002..Sparing of the parotid gland by IMRT is feasible, although this may be significantly influenced by the delineation method of the elective lymph node regions...
[18F]fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG-PET) voxel intensity-based intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancerBarbara Vanderstraeten
Department of Radiotherapy, Ghent University Hospital, Belgium
Radiother Oncol 79:249-58. 2006..Planning results of [(18)F]fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography ([(18)F]FDG-PET) voxel intensity-based intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) were compared with those of PET contour-based IMRT...
Definition and delineation of the clinical target volume for rectal cancerSarah Roels
Department of Radiotherapy, University Hospital Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 65:1129-42. 2006..Moreover, the lateral lymph nodes are at high risk for microscopic involvement and should also be added in the CTV...
Implementation of biologically conformal radiation therapy (BCRT) in an algorithmic segmentation-based inverse planning approachBarbara Vanderstraeten
Department of Medical Physics, Ghent University, Proeftuinstraat 86, 9000 Gent, Belgium
Phys Med Biol 51:N277-86. 2006..The obtained biological conformity was better for the first (2.5 Gy per fraction) than for the second (3 Gy per fraction) dose escalation level...
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy for head and neck cancerWilfried De Neve
Ghent University Hospital, Department of Radiotherapy, De Pintelaan 185, 9000 Gent, Belgium
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther 4:425-34. 2004..If these volumes are small, focused dose escalation of large magnitude can be attempted and the hypothesis of improved local control by IMRT can be tested...
